You must be
unlikeable.
I’m old. That’s
my problem.
Not yours, but
theirs. You should think of other people.
I do. They don’t
like me.
There you are.
You’re only thinking of yourself. Do you ever think of liking them?
I like them
better than myself.
You don’t like
yourself? Now we’re getting somewhere.
Can that be why
they don’t like me?
You’ve just
got accept you don’t like yourself and like others instead.
They still won’t
like me.
Sorry, there’s
someone else on the line.
You don’t like
me.
Who?
They. They take
it.
Who?
They. They
sometimes they give me a bit of it back.
Why?
I suppose it’s so
I can give it to them again.
Who are they?
The women.
Tell me more.
There’s nothing
more to tell.
Who are these
women? Where did you find them?
They’re the women
who look after me.
And your
money.
That’s it.
So what’s your
point?
They take it and
give me some back so I can give it to them again. I don’t know why.
They don’t
have to be women to do that.
They always are.
Women. And so nice they are to visitors. You must be very happy, everybody
says.
And you’re
not?
I don’t know what
happiness is. They take my money. I don’t know why.
And give you
some back.
So I can give it
to them again.
That makes
sense.
Yes.
Yes. Is that
all?
They take all my
money…
Go on.
I can’t stop
myself.
Doing
what?
It’s not what I
do but that I can’t stop myself.
I see. It’s a
matter of principle.
It’s a matter of
not being able to stop myself.
You lack
self-control. Is that what you’re saying?
I can’t stop
myself.
Self-control is an overrated virtue. It
stops you from doing things. You end up a frozen vegetable.
Are you saying I
should stop stopping myself?
Of course.
But isn’t that
the same thing? It’s my problem.
Not if you look at it positively. Drop
the stops and say, I’m letting myself go.
I let myself go
all the time. It’s what I want to stop.
Negativity. Stop it.
No. Thanks, I
think I now know not what to do.
What?
Talk to you
again.
Now I’m going to stop you.
What do you
want one for?
I want to fly.
Where to?
In the sky.
Why?
I want to see my
mother.
Where is she?
Up there.
Where,
exactly?
In the sky.
How long has
she been there?
Ages.
So why do you
want to see her now?
I want to find
out if I am dead.
How will you
do that?
If my passport is
out of date…
Not you again. The deaf one.
You should be on
television.
So you’re blind too.
I heard that.
There is no reason to be ashamed of your appearance. It makes ugly people feel
better.
So you lip
read?
You should be on
television.
CAN YOU SEE?
Not very well.
I’m blind.
WHY THEN
TELEVISION?
The sound is
better on the television.
What do I do with my glasses and my teeth?
